Re: [DML] DMC Door Locks

[Martin Gutkowski - DMUK Ltd <martin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt

I am in a similar situation with my #1458 - when it arrived 3 years ago, 
the door lock in the driver's door didn't work. I was reluctant to 
install later style lock barrels so set about rebuilding the central 
lock module to be reliable, and installing remote central locking. It 
was a really easy job and it's worked ever since. I have tried 
installing replacement black barrels in the driver's door, but those 
things are so poorly designed and made that it's very difficult to find 
one that still works, let alone being able to rebuild it, and then 
there's the problem of the locking ring which never comes off in one piece
